Profiteer

A sophisticated Cost of Goods Sold App supporting all Shopify sales channels

Managing cost prices is crucial to helping you monitor your shop profit and for knowing important values like how much your unsold inventory is worth at any given moment in time.

For speed and rapid processing of shop orders all cost prices for your inventory are stored in the Profiteer App itself. When you accept a subscription to the App all your sales history is downloaded to the App and all your inventory is setup in the App, with zero as a cost price for each variant.

Therefore the first task for any merchant installing the App is to set cost prices for all your variants. Once that is completed, you can rewrite the downloaded sales so that each variant with a zero recorded will have an actual cost price assigned instead. At that point, basic shop profit from sales is visible.

We asked David from Resistor Software to solve a very complicated problem for us . We are based in Germany and shipping with UPS but, there are some islands in the North Sea where the shipping is much higher. David built a shipping app with a lot of logic and we are very happy with his work. Great and fast work, far beyond our expectations.

Really incredible work on a custom app necessary for some business functions in my shop. I’ve never worked with somebody who is more knowledgable about Shopify and how Shopify works before. They took my vision and made it something real.

I’ve contacted a few other “Experts” before, but Dave is what I call a “Real Expert”. I needed a square feet calculator for my store with minimum quantity etc..., Dave delivered in style - Go no further, Dave is your guy.

The Shopify forums and chat channels are chock-a-block full of merchants that subscribe to the theory that shipping is easy. Some common complaints include: Why can’t I have free shipping for a single product? Why can’t I ship free to a small list of local zip codes? What if I have one thing in a weird tube and everything else in a box? MORE

For accounting purposes there are a couple of ways of dealing with selling and purchasing of inventory and the changes in the cost of purchasing inventory over time. It is rare that a merchant will purchase items to sell in their Shopify store for the exact same price over time. It can be important to use an average cost price that takes into account these purchasing price changes over time. MORE

The Profiteer App is meant to expose profit or margins on a sale by subtracting the cost price of goods sold from the selling price of the goods sold. A common business issue faced by many merchants is the effect currency exchange rates may have on their sales. A shop located in Canada may sell products to Canadians in Canadian currency, but the products sold may have been purchased and imported from the United States. MORE

Had a real laugher/shocker at the same time. I develop so much App code where the data processing is a flow and not a stop:persist:process:continue action that sometimes you get burned by that. Everything was working fine as “hey download all that shop’s orders, parse them, deal with the contents, and move on”. Everything as working fine on MY itty, bitty, little dev shop. MORE
